Default functions and 'this'

Bug

What is the current behavior?

I have a key in my Schema that uses the default function to use this. When type is an array, this only includes default values of some of the keys:

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

authors: {
    default: function () {
        console.log(this);
    },
    type: [mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId],
},

Logs to console an object with only keys that have a default value

vs

authors: {
    default: function () {
        console.log(this);
    },
    type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
},

Logs to console an object that includes the keys that I'm setting in my 'createCourse' route

const course = await Course.create({
    title: req.body.title,
    publisher: req.account._id,
});

`What is the expected behavior?

Should have access to this.publisher when using an array.

What are the versions of Node.js, Mongoose and MongoDB you are using? Note that "latest" is not a version.

Node.js: 14.7.0
Mongoose: 5.10.0
MongoDB: 4.2.3

I love mongoose, thanks for the great work!
